I know I havent been on livejournal for a long while now. Mostly its because I needed a change. I changed to an actual blog at http://becomingdrruth.blogspot.com. I think I just needed a place to get out there in public and talk about things. A way of dialoguing my life that I can show my kids and hubby one day...or even in the present (him, not ( Read more... )

I always knew that I loved movies with a passion but now more than ever I admit to myself that I fully take on the messages and themes they have to present and relate them to my own life. God, how many times have I watched High Fidelity or Sex and the City or any other thing and learned a whole new way to behave and think for the better? A lot. And ( Read more... )

...if I'm not smiling, but not frowning, but just looking regular with no emotion on my face at a particular moment, everyone thinks something is wrong?

Should I be flattered for being a constant smiler? Or does my "regular" face actually look really miserable? If that's true then lord knows what my "sad" face actually looks like!

Just a thought.

I moved into J's house (our house) with the intention of decorating everything to make it a really cool home. Then I got distracted with the "living with the boyfriend/fiance glow" and totally forgot. Then I got busy with graduate school and forgot some more. Then this weekend came by and I thought, I'm living here for at least another 2 years, we ( Read more... )

So after some dreadfully long weeks of putting my research paper together, I finally presented it at class last night. A class which lasted from 5:30 to freaking ELEVEN PM. What the hell? I was ticked and tired and my head hurt and my presentation wasnt going til the 3rd to last. Ugh. I pretty much lost all concern for how I was going to sound but ( Read more... )

My mom sometimes tries to act like a friend or a sister when we're with family and it really bothers me. I dont want someone teasing me just to be funny. I just want a mom.

We went to see Ben Folds at the Ryman last night and it was great. He definitely puts on an awesome live show and even the opening acts were fun to watch. The first was a junior version of Ben Folds and the second was a college accapella group (spelling?) who did covers of some popular songs. Overall very enjoyable ( Read more... )

My older brother Scott has turned into a moron because of his wife Sara who absolutely hates me. And no matter how far I try to rise above and beyond and be polite and maybe salvage whatever kind of relationship her and I have left, I still get this cold, snotty attitude. I'll admit I just dont like her but she's my brother's wife and the mother to ( Read more... )

I got accepted for an internship at Vanderbilt University! Hells yeah! I'm excited. This will be great experience. This will also look great on my resume. It also will completely screw up my current work schedule so I'm already anticipating quitting here in the fall so I can make that my priority. I"ll have to find something else that still makes ( Read more... )

40 Secrets about yourself. Be honest no matter what. (An LJ friend had this up and it seemed intriguing, at least to me. Feel free to skip onto someone else's journal if it bores you. I'm not offended ( Read more... )
